An appointment at partner level of this kind turns on the portability of the practice, far more than on any headline figure.

Senior litigation partner role based in the firm's Santa Monica office, leading commercial disputes with a focus on technology, life sciences and real estate-related matters. The team handles complex commercial litigation across Southern California and works with cross-practice specialists on high-stakes matters.

The role is client-facing and requires a strategic leader who can develop business, mentor associates and collaborate with national practice teams. Candidates with established technology or life sciences litigation practices, or a strong real-estate disputes background, are encouraged to apply.

Portable book of business of $2M+ (USD)
Proven track record of leading commercial litigation matters in California
Experience advising technology or life sciences clients and/or handling real estate disputes
Demonstrated ability to originate and grow client relationships and to mentor junior lawyers

Where the match is not obvious from the description, it is usually still worth talking — the specification tends to follow the practice.
